Formation Z ports the Jaleco horizontal arcade shoot on Famicom with its transformable robot facing enemy forces on varied stages. The representation offers scrolling with switching between walking and flying mode in an original Japanese arcade formula. Without western release, curiosity for Famicom shoot fans in the 8 bit Jaleco production vein.
